Wrong. The required incantation is [cloverleaf] [F] or [cloverleaf] [K] not
[option] [D] after (and that is *immediately* after) clicking on the [OK]
button in the PRINT dialog box. The file produced is POSTSCRIPT 01 then 02
03 04 ....etc. for subsequent dumps.

[cloverleaf] [F] = just the "munged" bastardized QuikDraw that looks like PS
                   smells like PS, and feels likes PS but ain't really PS

[cloverleaf] [K] = the above with LaserPrep appended to the front .... BURP!

Have fun.
